Why have I never met a female electrician? I get that carpentry and plumbing require a certain amount of upper-body strength, but does electrical work? Or is that profession just an impenetrable boys’ club?

Those trades don’t require any more upper body strength than say Policing, or Military, which have females in their ranks. I find these “blue collar” trades are a bit of a boy’s club thing. I had a friend that was trying so damn hard to become a plumber but no one would take her on as an apprentice.

Well, if you count bending pipes and pulling wire, there’s a good bit of upper body strength required for an electrician. However, my daft one (who retains his membership in good standing in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) has met female electricians.
